But could you reproduce it ?

And ignore elinks1.png since the cursor is gone at screenshot
time. But it's like elinks2.png.

I could reproduce it opening freshmeat.net. I tried 3 times and
it always stayed at "Received 9.0KiB, speed 23 KiB/s". The same
with 0.4.3.

I'm not used to gdb, but using 'attach' and 'where' didn't
help. Do you know what the right commands are ?

What do you mean by not necessary ? It's a feature, listed in
NEWS and enabled in contrib/elinks.spec.in, so may be worth.
